A confession: I've never played the original PS2 version of Metal Gear Solid 3. Though I had (and loved) MGS1 on PlayStation, I became an Xbox—and then PC—boy thereafter, which meant I only got access to the series' sequels when they got Bluepoint HD editions in 2011. Those same Bluepoint HD editions would become the basis for Konami's Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 in 2023.
Which means I've been playing MGS3 wrong, it turns out.
Afevis Solmunko, head honcho of the Master Collection graphics fixpack MGSHDFix, recently announced a big tweak coming to MGS3's Master Collection version in the mod's upcoming 3.1.0 version: a fix for Bluepoint's misaligned cutscene camera that's has been in the game ever since its initial 2011 release, and which no one has since fixed.
"In both 2011 [HD Collection] & 2023 [Master Collection], the camera in ALL of MGS3's cutscenes is ~10% higher than PS2's framing, cutting off the bottom of screen," wrote Solmunko. "Now fully corrected/properly centered by MGSHDFix."
